Claudio Ranieri says his Leicester side are “on the home straight” after the Premier League leaders beat Crystal Palace maintain their five points lead.
“We have to be focused,” said Ranieri.
“Sometimes I’ve said we are at the last turn and now we are on the final, home straight. Now I want to see my horses, how they run.”

The Foxes supporters sang “we’re going to win the league” solidly for 15 minutes after the final whistle, and it took repeated announcements from the stadium announcer to persuade them to leave. Naija and bet
“Our fans are singing a very good song but we have to stay calm,” added Italian Ranieri.
“I remember at the start of the season. I have not forgotten. The goal was to save the team and now everybody is speaking about us. Not only in England, all over the world.
“Everyone is pushing behind us and that is a great energy that we feel. If in the end someone is better than us, we still had a fantastic achievement.
Palace boss Alan Pardew said Leicester deserve to win the league, despite defeat extending his side’s winless run to 13 league games.
“We are down, frustrated, we wanted to keep momentum after the FA Cup win over Reading but Leicester are top of the league for a reason,” he conceded.
“They have a lovely balance to the team. They will be difficult to catch and would be worthy champions.”
